Team Texas is celebrating an incredible weekend on the international stage!

A huge congratulations to Team Texas speed climbing athlete Claire Pee for securing the bronze medal, and to Team Texas alum Lucas Vales, who also earned bronze, at the 2025 IFSC Pan American Cup in Armenia. Their outstanding performances showcased not only their world-class athleticism but also the spirit, resilience, and determination that define Team Texas.

Claire continues to push the limits of speed climbing with her focus, precision, and relentless drive—qualities we are proud to see representing our team and community. Lucas, a Team Texas alum, continues to inspire current athletes by demonstrating what’s possible with dedication, hard work, and passion for the sport.

We could not be more proud of both athletes for representing Team Texas on the international stage and contributing to the growing legacy of competitive climbing in Texas and beyond. Their achievements motivate all of us—coaches, teammates, families, and future athletes—to keep striving, training, and believing.

Please join us in congratulating Claire and Lucas on this remarkable accomplishment. We can’t wait to see what’s next!

Go Team Texas!
